Carers at a Canberra Wildlife Sanctuary are struggling to accommodate large numbers of injured and malnourished roos affected by the worsening drought.
Wildcare volunteer Helen Stevens currently has 9 joeys in her care, and is going through 45 bottles of special kangaroo milk each day in an effort to boost the young roos’ growth.
Ms Stevens says she is very concerned about the oncoming fire season, with some carers still nursing joeys burnt in the 2017 Carwoola bushfires.
